&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;how-do-i-connect-to-alexa&#34;&gt;How do I connect to Alexa?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following is an example using Amazon Echo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete product networking configuration in the Smart Life App&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Complete the device&amp;rsquo;s networking configuration according to the prompts in the App&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: In the App, change the name of the device to an easily identifiable name such as Alexa; names are usually in English, such as &amp;ldquo;bedroom light&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start=&#34;2&#34;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Configure the Amazon Echo device&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(If you have already configured Amazon Echo, you can skip this step. The following instructions are based on the iOS client)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure your Amazon Echo device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open the Alexa app on your phone. After successful login, tap on the menu in the upper left corner of the Home page, select &amp;ldquo;Settings&amp;rdquo; and tap &amp;ldquo;Set Up A New Device&amp;rdquo; to set up the Amazon Echo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choose your Amazon Echo device type and language for connecting. Press and hold the small dot on the device until the light turns yellow. Then tap &amp;ldquo;Continue&amp;rdquo; to connect to the hotspot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After connecting to the Amazon Echo hotspot, return to the page. At this point, the connection is successful. Tap &amp;ldquo;Continue&amp;rdquo; to proceed to the next step. Choose a Wi-Fi network to connect to. Amazon Echo will take a few minutes to try to connect to the network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start=&#34;4&#34;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the network connection is successful, Tap “Continue.&amp;quot; An introduction video will appear. After the video ends, Tap “Continue” to jump to the Alexa Home page. You have now completed the Amazon Echo&amp;rsquo;s configuration process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Key step - link Skill&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tap on &amp;ldquo;Skills&amp;rdquo; in the Alexa app menu.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then search for &amp;ldquo;Smart Life&amp;rdquo;. Tap &amp;ldquo;Enable&amp;rdquo; to enable the Skill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enter the Smart Life APP account and password, then tap “Link Now” to link your Smart Life account to enable the Skill. Now you can start your smart home journey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;common-commands&#34;&gt;Common commands&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Control the device via voice commands Now you can control your smart device with Echo. You can control your device (such as your bedroom light) with the following commands:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;ALEXA,TURN on the bedroom light!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
